<p><a href="http://webreakstuff.com/">Frederico Oliveira</a> talks about <a href="http://webreakstuff.com/blog/2005/10/i-unsubscribe/">some interesting issues</a> regarding the information overload most of us are experiencing. He unsubscribed from several RSS feeds in order to cut down the mass of information.</p>
<p>I'm goint to do the same thing, too. My first step was to reduce the amount of daily email, though. I have just finished unsubscribing from 16 mailing lists which I don't really read very often (this automatically reduces the amount of spam I get, too). I'm left with ca. 80 mailing lists now. I'll probably remove some more and concentrate on those which I really need and/or read regularly.</p>
<p>The next step is to unsubscribe from several RSS feeds, but that's not that much of an issue. I find tracking RSS feeds easier and more manageable than tracking mailinglists (not sure why). For the statistics freaks, I currently subscribe to ca. 320 feeds, but I read way more of them regularly than I do with mailing lists...</p>
